On the politics point, I really think it was for a different reason.

Probability of putting up an image on r/place was a function (inversely related to) of how much antagonism it would draw. I think that it why there were so few political messages. There were too many people AGAINST a given image, and not necessarily not enough FOR it.

Sabotaging was way easier than constructing.

That's another way of saying people hate political crap.
